Food To prepare for COVID-19

2020/03/29

Panic buying, what should I buy?

 

We all know that COVID-19 is bringing worries and anxiety to all of us.

More people are affected by this virus and kill the elderly principally.

 

The respective government in each country announced the restriction to not go out of their dwellings. Hearing that gives everyone anxiety on how to survive like a job to pay bills and buy food.

 

The government hears you, thus giving you enough time to plan, and roam around warning everyone to practice social distancing religiously.

 

So, let's get down to business. We are going to share with you the food we prepared.
But first, let us share with you what we considered before we purchased goods.

 

  1. We pretend we have less money.
  2. Malls will be closed and we only have once a week to shop.

Please cook adequately for some days because it can be cloying if you are going to consume it the entire week.


Also, just my suggestion, eat only when you are hungry.

Do not eat when you are bored, because if you do, you will gain some pounds. 

 

Lastly, check the expiration date of every good that you are buying.
Now, is not the time to get sick as hospitals and medical staff are busy to attend the ones needing urgent care.

 

 

We hope this can help you, as this is helping us to survive. 

 

P.S. We only bought what we can devour and can stock for a long time. 

 

Take care, everyone!

 

 

Yours truly,
